Big Bad Bottle - Sunday 9/30/2007


This may actually be more of an emotional map than a photograph.

Though Dodger's eyesight is probably keener than ours, he might have this feeling about the squirt bottle. We give him a little squirt if he's being really mischievous or putting himself in physical danger.

Well, actually, we don't even have to squirt him any more. We just say "Squirt!" or "Where's that Squirt Bottle? I'm gonna have to Squirt you!"

And he gets off Hydra's towel and back onto the top of the shower stall, or stops trying to explore under the kitchen sink (where all the toxics are stored), or stops chewing on any number of things.

When he gets the chance, though, Dodger will make a big watery sound and head butt the bottle off whatever surface it's on.

Once, when he was younger, he actually disarmed a squirt bottle. Yup, we picked it up, depressed the trigger and "thunk."

Nothing.

He'd removed the spring.
